Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOGOTHETE (Med. Lat. logothela, Gr. Xo'yoBErtls, from Xdyos, word, account, calculation, and riOEvai, to set, i.e. " one who accounts, calculates or ratiocinates ") , originally the
title
  of a variety of administrative officials in the
Byzantine
 
Empire
 , e.g. the XoyoOir>is rou 46/1ov, who was practically the equivalent of the
modern
  postmaster-general; and the XoyoBErrls ro"v irrpariwn ov, the
logothete
  of the military chest. Gibbon de-fines the
great
 
Logothete
  as " the supreme guardian of the
laws
  and revenues," who " is compared with the
chancellor
  of the Latin monarchies." From the Eastern
Empire
  the
title
  was borrowed by the West, though it only became firmly established in Sicily, where the logotlzeta occupied the position of
chancellor
  elsewhere, his office being equal if not superior to that of the
magnus
  cancellarius. Thus the title was borne by Pietro della Vigna, the all-powerful minister of the emperor Frederick II., king of Sicily.
See Du Cange, Glossarium, s.v. Logotheta.
